Jack-o’-lanterns aren’t just for kids fumbling with safety knives
anymore. The art and craft of carving the perfect pumpkin has gone from
simple Halloween tradition to passionate pursuit, fueled by geeky
obsessions and modern tech.

Run by Parsons School of Design grads Marc Evan and Chris Soria, the New York-based operation cranks out custom pumpkins covered with intricate designs.

“Our inspiration comes from a steady flow of hot coffee and horror
films,” said pumpkin artiste Evan. “We love carving images based off
the movies and comics we grew up with. The movies that we can quote
years later, that fueled our overactive imaginations and our scariest
nightmares.”
